Much of this area, not all, had been known formerly as “the Pale of Settlement.” The Pale of Settlement was an area of territory set up by Imperial Russia in the nineteenth century for Jews to live in. Most Jews had to live within this area, save some exempt cities where they could not live, but they could not live outside of this area. This led to the largest concentration of Jews on earth, at one time playing host to some five million. The area of the Pale included much of modern day Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, Bessarabia, Ukraine, and parts of western Russia. This was primarily in the area Zechariah described as the land of the north. Jews had been herded, by law and legislation, into an area that would become the killing ground of Europe . The restrictions on where Jews could live, that is, the Pale of Settlement, officially came to an end in 1917. But this left millions of Jews entrenched in a way of life that included living in the former Pale. Much of the blood shed by the Nazis in World War II occurred in this area. All of the Nazi death camps, as well as the sites of mass shootings, happened here.

Part of the satanic plot was to herd as many Jews into this area, even years in advance, for the great slaughter that was going to take place here. As evil principalities and powers hold sway over nations, as recorded in the book of Daniel, so there were evil spiritual powers at work herding the people of Israel , by law and legislation, into an area that they knew was part of the master plan of Satan to destroy God’s people. As the first signs of the restoration of Zion began to dawn in 1882, when the first wave of Jewish immigrants began to head home to Zion in what is referred to as the First Aliyah, so the Devil, in opposition to such a threat, decided to put his seed of anti-Semitic hatred into a man whom he would raise up for the purpose of putting a stop to such restoration. The threat that Satan was concerned about was the fact that the restoration of Zion would herald the coming of Messiah and usher in the Messianic Age, as well as bring about the imprisonment of Satan himself (see Psalm 102:13–16 and Revelation 19–20). The Satanic seed that would end such Zionist ambitions was put into an infant who was born seven years after the first signs of the Zionist restoration began. The name given to the seed was Adolf Hitler. He was born on April 20, 1889.
